Have you ever wondered what clouds taste like? I have. I always thought they'd be like cotton candy :) well this past week I had the opportunity to taste a cloud (kind of)! We were driving to the Malabar coast in Kerala and while in the mountains there were some really low clouds. So I opened my window, and now I can say I've tasted the clouds. What do they taste like? Absolutely nothing. I must admit, I was quite disappointed. Now I'm wondering if a rainbow really taste like Skittles?? But that experiment will have to wait for another day.
I had the chance to visit St Stephen's church here in Ooty last week and it is amazing. It was built in 1831 and it has definitely stood the test of time! I had the opportunity to not only take some pictures (only on my phone so they arent the best) of the beautifal staind glass windows but I was also able to go up to the bell & clock tower (part of me hoped to find Quasimodo up there but that wish will have to wait for the churches of Europe).
Dad and I finally confimed our plans for Europe and booked most of our tickets. We're going to spend a few days in the UAE and then its off to Europe! When I told him that Krysten and I would be travelling to Dublin I could sense that he was thinking of how much he would enjoy Dublin but wouldn't want to cramp our style (do people still say that?!). So now I will be going to Dublin twice (not that I'm complaining! I do love me some Guiness!). After Dublin we'll spend a few days in Lisbon and then end up in Barcelona. Honestly, I am exausted from all the travelling I have done so far and I am starting to get a little home-sick but the trips I have coming up are the ones I am looking forward to the most!
Will try and keep you updated as much as possible!
Miss and love you lots!

p.s. let me know if you want something specific from any of the places I will be visiting!!
p.p.s. here is a random picture of a dosa I had! (a dosa is like a savory crepe for lack of a better description)
